Patent JP-4436522-B2 (JP)
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2000-03-06
Granted: 2010-03-24
Abstract: The method involves activating a lighting system having several drive devices (B1-B6) to drive lamps (LP1-LP8) inserted in electric lights (L1-L6), and at least one programmable control unit (St) to control the drive devices. During the activation phase, addresses are assigned to the drive devices through the control device.  The address assignment involves applying the supply voltage to the drive devices. A control command to initiate the address assignment is sent from the control unit to the drive devices to be controlled. The drive device to be controlled is selected by interrupting and re-establishing the electrical contact to a lamp of the drive device. The contact interruption is reported to the control unit. An address is transferred from an address supply of the control unit to the selected drive device and is stored in a memory of the drive device. The process is repeated for the remaining lights, which have drive devices that are to be controlled by the control unit and to which addresses are to be assigned.

Abstract: A seismic fixture clamp enables light fixtures and the like to be securely affixed to the T-bars of a suspended ceiling system, thereby ensuring that the fixtures do not separate from the T-bars in the event of an earthquake generating seismic shocks to the suspended ceiling system. The seismic fixture clamp, although easily and quickly installed, adds structural strength to the overall T-bar framework to reduce or prevent twisting and separating of the T-bars, and includes support lips configured to securely affix light fixtures to the T-bars, thereby strengthening the suspended ceiling system against seismic shocks without requiring additional wires or chains to secure the fixtures directly to an overhead structure.

Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a shift operation sets an output Mout from a reference model M(s), which is ideally changed, as a target slip amount of a feedback controller Cpi(s). The controller Cpi(s) controls torque transmitted to an off-going friction engagement element for matching a control slip amount sp with the target slip amount. The characteristics of the controller Cpi(s) is determined for optimally performing a clutch-to-clutch shift operation during a lock-up clutch being engaged. When the lock-up clutch has been disengaged, an input shaft rotation speed is filtered by a notch filter NF for removing a frequency component in a predetermined frequency domain, wherein the control slip amount sp is obtained based upon the filtered input shaft rotation speed.

Abstract: The light transmitted and reflected by all-dielectric optically variable pigments varies according to viewing angle. The color travel of an all-dielectric optically variable pigment depends on amplitude changes and wavelength shifts in reflectance peaks of the pigment. The width and center wavelength of reflectance peaks can be controlled by selecting the ratio of thicknesses between high-index and low-index layers in a thin film stack. Reflectance peaks can regenerate or become suppressed and shift with tilt angle, thus providing a wide variety of color trajectories.
